ArchivesRe: name/word from the Bible that means DARK
in reply to a message by edenrowe
HEBREW:
aFEL - dark
khaSHOKH - dark
KHOshekh - darkness
te'uhFA - darkness
tsel - darkness, shade
tsiLLA - shade (refreshment), dark (wife of Lamech, known as Zillah in English Bibles, Gen 4:19)
GREEK:
skoTIa - darkness
MElas (m.) / MElaina (f.) - black (hence Melanie)
An online dictionary (obviously modern Greek) also lists:
maurideros, skuhros and a few others which don't really sound like names.
My favourite is ZILLAH (for a girl)
